The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,190 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 240 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport, taking 6 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. Departure roll took place on runway 30R, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 1,140 meters, which was 47% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 153 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 1°C temperature and a wind speed of 13 knots at 350 degrees. The crosswind was 10 knots, while the headwind was 8 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,847 feet above sea level to 32,421 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,573 feet in 11 minutes and covering 105 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 4 miles south of Melrose, Wisconsin, and lasting 12 minutes, covering 319 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began 2 miles northwest of Chelsea Airport in Michigan, with the aircraft descending from 32,206 feet above sea level to 31,285 feet above sea level, a decrease of 921 feet in 2 minutes and covering 22 nautical miles.
The aircraft then underwent another climb phase, starting 1 mile southwest of Laszlo Airport in Michigan, and ascending from 31,302 feet above sea level to 32,250 feet above sea level, an increase of 948 feet in 2 minutes and covering 24 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase resumed 11 miles southeast of Denton Farms Airport in Michigan, lasting 25 minutes and covering 200 nautical miles.
The final descent phase began 1 mile west of Carr Airport in West Virginia, with the aircraft descending from 32,417 feet above sea level to 160 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,258 feet in 22 minutes and covering 144 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 19 at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, heading 177.0 degrees at 0 nautical miles and 142 feet above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 19, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 135 knots, which was slightly fast. The touchdown distance was 241 meters, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 16°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 189 degrees, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 6 knots.
The total landing distance was 904 meters, which was 41% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.1 meters from the centerline. Taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 817 nautical miles, taking 82 minutes and using 5,776 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, scoring 91.2% in the evaluation. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 177.0° at an altitude of 142 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The final approach was conducted with a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 139 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 135 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to a heavy touchdown rate of -616 feet per minute (fpm). This high rate of descent could have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and may have affected the overall landing performance.
The aircraft landed on runway 19, which has a length of 2,190 meters. The touchdown distance of 241 meters was within the acceptable range, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.3 meters from the centerline, which may have affected the aircraft's rollout and alignment on the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 189°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 6 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing. The total landing distance of 904 meters was 41% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been a result of the initial touchdown position being off-center. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown speed and alignment.
